If in asia pacific then yes. If at usa then no 😂. But american have access to the bonvoy brilliant anyway only for $650. So why still think? Lol For asian customer like me, I literally have to do stay for 50 nights that will easily costs $5000 just to get platinum status
My current status is Titanium thru the end of 2025. So far I can't say I've noticed much difference, especially in the US. Going international now, and will make an assessment there. Great detail in your review!
Thanks for sharing! We don't have a lot of experience as Platinum in the US yet, so I appreciate your insight. We'll have another stay and room tour video up on a US stay next week - I will spoil it a bit and say the benefits are not as good as we've had internationally.
@@40-and-flying looking fwd to it
Good review!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
how do u use the page in english?
smart-ex.jp/en/index.php
I hear there are more status bonvoy in the states than non status making it impossible for everyone to receive benefit. Try going to Asia and you will be treated like a king.
That is true in our experience. In fact, at the end of the video we compare benefit value by region (Europe, Asia, and the US) with specifics of upgrades and perks in each region!
Just the niche data points I’m looking for! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks!
Great Explanation
Thank you! Hope it's helpful.
Beautiful discovery thank you for the sharing 👍 👍 👍
Thank you! And thanks for watching!

I love Akihabra, Tokyo so much! 🥰🫶🇯🇵 👇 👇
So do we!
how many points do u get instead of taking the food and beverage credit?
We got 250 points instead of the F&B credit
@@40-and-flyingfood and beverage credit was how much? 250 points is like nothing
@@bimmerM3 It was $10 USD. We weren't going to use it, so we took the points.
Love the temple ☺️ Thank you for the video 🙏
So do we! We visit every time we're in Kyoto. Thank you for your comment!
I hated this hotel. They cheap out on the AC and turn it off in the middle of the night. When I was there it was so hot and humid it was hard to breathe when the AC was off. I left the hotel mid trip because I couldn’t stand the AC but luckily they refunded the rest of the amount of the stay
Plus the lobby of the hotel has a weird citrusy air fragrance that made me nauseous
Sorry to hear that. I'm glad they refunded you when you left!
Very interesting and informative. Thanks for showing your stay. Like 1. Newest friend ❤️🙏
Thanks for your kind words. Glad you enjoyed it!
It’s godzirra!
